Servicing the Battery

Important
Before welding on the machine,
disconnect the ground cable from the battery to
prevent damage to the electrical system .
Note: Check battery condition weekly or after every
50 hours of operation. Keep the terminals and the
entire battery case clean because a dirty battery will
slowly discharge. To clean the battery, wash the entire
case with a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse
with clear water. Coat the battery posts and cable
connector with Grafo 112X (Skin-over) grease, Toro
Part No. 505-47 or petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion.

Wiring Harness Service

Prevent corrosion of wiring terminals by applying
Grafo 112X (Skin-over) grease, Toro Part No. 505-47,
to the inside of all harness connectors whenever the
harness is replaced.
Whenever working with the electrical system, always
disconnect battery cables, negative (–) cable first, to
prevent possible wiring damage from short-outs.
